I can't think of another President who was elected to one term then voluntarily chose to not seek another term, certainly not in the last 100 years.They either ran for re-election , chose not to run after poor primary showings (Truman, LBJ) or like Coolidge had already served a partial first term before being elected on their own.
But then, Trump does not fit the typical presidential pattern.
